ecmn | Biology is a long game, yield response is short game.
Anyone selling biological products without interviewing the farmer to understand how they're farming isn't fit to be selling a true biological product.
What determines success or failure?
Conventional Farm are you simply using yield?
What are you not doing that the biology would do for you to create yield?
why is the natural biology not there? And what is the added biology going to feed on and where's it going to live
KS covers said it pretty well.
If you buy phosphorus and you didn't get a yield response would you say phosphorus don't work? Or would we test something different? What if we did a soil test and it said we have this level of phosphorus so we apply a phosphorus product and we see the soil test slightly improve. Would then that say the product did what it was supposed to do even though we did not get a yield response
Did they do any soil tests, sap test, haney test to see if plant or soil responded at all? Did they do pfla tests, co2, burst, compaction probe...
Yield has to be about the worst indicator in many many things to determine a success or not.

Are there any biological products which actually pay for themselves?
